left hand writers from the bbc

People who are left-handed often use one of a number of styles to enable them to see what they are writing.

According to the design team,"at swanneck pen" these include 'the hook' where the hand is hooked at the wrist, 'the underwriter' where the page is positioned at different angles and 'the fist' where people who hold the pen gripped in a fist.

Tony Hemmings said: "We had no idea that so many left-handers were struggling. It is not just in the UK, as there are over one billion left-handed people around the world who would benefit from this pen.

"What is doubly exciting for us is that we have realised there is also a massive market for right-handers who write from right to left, as in Arabic or in some Asian languages.

The pen is perfect for them too as it enables them to see what they are writing."
